Their marriage was a rushed arrangement, more about family ties than love. On their wedding night, he freaked out and bolted, leaving everything behind. For ten years, he lived with a fake name, becoming one of the Great Swordsman of the Continent. He made a new life, but a part of him was always stuck in the past he ditched. When he heard his dad had died, he knew he had to go back. He expected an empty house and old memories. Instead, he found her—his wife. The woman he saw only once, on their wedding night. He thought she had left ages ago, but there she was still waiting for his return. She was still as gorgeous as she was that day, standing there with a mix of grace and strength. In her eyes, he saw their past and the years they'd both gone through alone. There was hurt, but also a flicker of hope—maybe even a second chance at love. As they stood facing each other, the weight of everything unsaid and the emotions they'd buried hung in the air. Could they overcome the time and choices that separated them? Only time would tell if they could turn their strained history into a story of love and healing.
